Chapter 884
Seeing Nicole in a daze, Zachary let out a soft chuckle and stroked her head. He explained in a soft voice, "I
happened to come across some work-related matters in the country today, so I went for a little chat. That's why I'm
dressed like this."
Nicole mumbled a response in a daze before sitting up slowly. At first, she had felt her brain turning to mush, so she
sat on the sofa in an attempt to recover herself. She didn't expect to simply fall asleep though. "Sorry. I seem to
have fallen asleep."
There was a hint of resignation in Zachary's eyes. Seeing the weariness written on Nicole's face, he felt somewhat
sorry for her. "I'm just caring about you. I saw you curled up on the sofa from afar and thought you were unwell or

Nicole felt that her brain was all mushy, as though her mind had been overcrowded with too many things that made
her feel dizzy. She stroked her head and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm fine. I guess I dozed off because I
was tired." She slowly sat up while letting out a yawn. After coming around a little, she finally looked up at Zachary.
Zachary was normally dressed mostly in light-colored suits. He usually had a gentle image, so a light-colored suit
would help him exude a gentle air without knowing. But now, not only was he dressed in a tight-fitting black suit, but
he also painstakingly had hair gel applied. As a result, he exuded a solemn air through his every pore when he
wasn't smiling.
What a drastic change of style, thought Nicole. She had never seen Zachary like this before. Now that he was
dressed like this, he looked even more imposing.
"Uh-huh. Just go upstairs for a rest if you're tired. It'll be bad if you catch a cold," Zachary said caringly while pulling
the woolen blanket aside over Nicole.
At this moment, Nicole's head was throbbing. Seems like I've slept for too long. As expected, my head always
throbs whenever I've napped for too long during the day. "It's okay. I'm already awake. At first, I just wanted to lie
down for a while, but who knew I'd fall asleep," she replied in a hoarse voice.
She thought that the amount of information she had received today was a little too much for her. However, too
many people were involved in this, including the Wrenns, the Goulds, and the Andersons. Consequently, she was at
a loss for what to do. Although she had learned about these things from Betty, she had yet to verify them. Don't tell
me I really have to get my hands on Siobhan's hair sample and do a DNA test for us. At the thought of this, she
couldn't help feeling a headache coming on.
Having known her for such a long time, Zachary was able to tell how troubled she was, of course. Taking a seat next
to her, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen? You seem a little unhappy to me."

eyes, saying, "Nothing much. It's just that, I went to see Ms. Betty today. She's regained consciousness."
Zachary's gentle voice sounded comforting. "Isn't that a good thing? Why do you look so distressed?"
"Well, we talked a lot about my childhood, which reminded me of my mom. That's why I'm feeling kind of
depressed," Nicole replied, her eyelids drooping.
Zachary knew that Madeline had always been a pain in Nicole's heart. No wonder she looks so down in the dumps
today. "It's alright, don't think too much about it. Just let bygones be bygones."
Nicole muttered a response without saying anything else.
Taking the opportunity, Zachary then suggested, "By the way, Nicole, since Ms. Betty is almost fully recovered, why
don't we take her abroad with us after attending the wedding between the Gardners and the Wrenns?" They had
discussed plans of going abroad last time, but they fell through when Betty's condition worsened. Now that Betty
had gotten better, he thought it was time to discuss it again.
